Why SUVs must be outlawed!

[Botafogo]

An hour ago, for the THIRD time in nine months, a woman driving a large SUV (this time it was a Range Rover) with the back window not only four feet off the ground but obscured by a spare tire backed right into my PARKED Alfa Romeo in broad daylight in the parking lot of our store!

She immediately started whining about how she could not see my car because it was "too low". Had that been a four year old or a fire hydrant or a gas meter it could have been really tragic, not that breaking a $350 Ferrari tail light lens and scraping up my $4,000 custom paint job (paid for by the LAST two people who did this) isn't tragic enough...

This is a DESIGN defect in these vehicles. The NTSB needs to recall every last one of them...
